review

Dear readers,

I dedicate this foreword

to the story from the cover

page.

Melbourne, the second

largest city in Australia

and the capital city of

the state of Victoria, is a trade and financial centre,

with modern architecture, cultural diversity, and

numerous opportunities. The city is extremely attractive

and interesting with many parks along the Yarra

River, which flows through the city centre. Based on

the organization of the health system, environment,

cultural offer, education, and infrastructure,

Economist Intelligence Unit

has chosen Melbourne

two years in a row as the most desirable place to live

out of all cities in the world.

One of the most ambitious and perhaps most

controversial architectural projects ever realized in

Australia is Federation Square in Melbourne, a

usually crowded cultural, move and trade centre,

internationally recognized as one of the largest public

places in the world. The project is the result of the

computer technique and represents a reflection of new

trends in architecture; it was designed to accommodate

10,000 people. It includes: Tourist Centre, National

Gallery of Victoria, Australian Centre for the Moving

Image ACMI, film, TV and new media promotion

company Cinemedia, SBS Radio & TV Station,

Atrium, as well as many restaurants.

Every year in January, Melbourne hosts a tennis

tournament, Australian Open, the first Grand Slam

tennis event of the year. The primary courts are the Rod

Laver Arena

, which is at the same time the largest,

and the Hisense Arena and Margaret Court Arena,

the third largest court. Australian Open has been won

by the largest number of tennis players, compared to

other Grand Slam tournaments. This year, Novak

okovi, currently the best tennis player, conquered

the Rod Laver Arena for the third time consecutively,

fourth in total. At the Australian Open, okovi was

twice the title defender. He has also become the only

player in the Open era that has won the Australian

Open three times in a row and achieved the record on

the total number of titles alongside Agasi and Federer

(4). This has been the first tournament which okovi

won more than three times.

Sincerely,

Dubravka Dukic

Postovani citaoci,

Uvodnu rec posveujem prici sa naslovne strane.

Melburn, drugi po velicini grad u Australiji i

prestonica Viktorije, trgovinski je i finansijski centar,

sa modernom arhitekturom, kulturnom sarolikosu

i bezbrojnim mogunostima. Grad je izuetno lep

i zanimljim sa mnostvom parkova na obe strane

reke Jare, koja prolazi kroz centar ovog velelepnog

grada. Na osnovu ureenosti zdravstvenog sistema,

okoline, kulturne ponude, sigurnosti, obrazovanja

i infrastructure, Economist Intelligence Unit dve

godine za redom proglasava Melburn najpozeljnijim

gradom za zivot, meu svim svetskim metropolama,

Jedan od najambicioznijih ali mozda i

najkontroverznijih arhitektonskih projekata ikada

realizovanih na podrucju Australije je Federation

Square

u Melbournu, centar kulture, filma, trgovine i

uobicajene gradske guzve, meunarodno priznat kao

jedan od najveih svetskih

javnih prostora. Projekat

ovoga trga proizasao

je iz kompjuterske

tehnike i odraz je novih

tendencija u arhitekturi a

kreiran je da primi deset hiljada ljudi. U okviru njega

su: Turisticki Centar, Nacionalna Galerija, Australijski

filmski Centar, Cinemedia, kompanija za promociju

filma, televizije i novih medija, SBS Radio i TV

stanica, Atrium kao i mnostvo restorana.

Svake godine u januaru u Melburnu se odrzava teniski

turnir, Otvoreno prvenstvo Australije, prvi grend

slem turnir u godini. Centralni teren je Rod Laver

Arena

koja je ujedno i najvea, potom sledi Hisense

Arena

i Margaret Court Arena koja je trei teren

po velicini. Otvoreno prvenstvo Australije je osvojilo

najvise tenisera od svih ostalih grend slem turnira.

Ove godine, Novak Djokovi, najbolji svetski igrac,

po trei put uzastopno, cetvrti put ukupno, osvojio je

Rod Lejver arenu, Na Otvorenom prvenstvu Australije

okovi je bio dvostruki branilac titule. Tako je

postao jedini igrac koji je u Open eri osvojio Otvoreno

prvenstvo Australije tri puta zaredom i izjednacio

rekord Agasija i Federera po broju ukupnih titula (4).

Ovo je bio prvi turnir koji je okovi osvojio vise od

tri puta.

S Postovanjem,

Dubravka Duki
